France out of touch with history of Jerusalem

The French foreign minister kicked off a Middle East peace conference by warning that such an action would have “extremely serious consequences” for the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

This argument gives too much credence to the Muslim's bogus claims of ownership of the capitol of the Jews for thousands of years. It has never been the capital of any Muslim state. The mosque they built on the Temple Mount was done in an attempt to wipe out the Jewish religion and their argument for it is farcical.

France and the West need to stop pandering to the Palestinian fantasy of a claim to Jerusalem. There is no history to justify such a claim. I would add that the Arab states who also push such a farcical claim are just acting on their own ethnic and religious bigotry. They have never forgiven the Jews for rejecting Islam. France should consider that that is one of the reasons why it is also under assault by radical Islam and pushing the Jews out of Jerusalem will do nothing to stop it.

Radical Islam is at war with anyone who rejects its weird religious beliefs. That is why Europe is under assault again as it was when Islamic armies tried to capture and enslave it before.

"It continues. Have seen gunships firing and heard much activity in the last few hours."...
The Iraqi claim is plausible. It is just the kind of thing that could be expected from ISIS forces. ISIS is in a desperate fight and appears willing to pull down all those around them as they lose.

Some injuries were reported and more than a dozen people were arrested after opposing sides clashed at dueling pro- and anti-Trump rallies, Berkeley, Calif., police said.
The liberals engage in projection by calling Trump supporters fascists, when it is in fact, their supporters who are sparking the violence in Califonia. There is a strain of intolerance for other points of view that is enforced by people dressed in black and their faces covered. They physically attack Trump supporters or other conservatives. These people may wear black but the are the Brownshirts of liberal fascism.

OPEC producers took another 153,000 barrels a day off the market in March as part of its bid to drain the world’s oil glut.

In the cartel’s monthly report released Wednesday, independent sources reported the group of oil-producing countries has cut output by 1.1 million barrels a day since December.

Last month, Libya’s output dropped by nearly 9 percent, and production edged lower in the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran, Angola and other countries. Saudi Arabia raised production by 41,000 barrels a day.

That effort has pushed oil prices above $50 a barrel in recent months, breathing life into U.S. oil patches like the Permian Basin. U.S. crude rose 16 cents on Wednesday to $53.56 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, as traders reacted to media reports that Saudi Arabia, the cartel’s de facto leader, wants to see OPEC continue production cuts into the second half of this year.

But even as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries works to slow…
